Dividend Season Heats Up: Key Stocks Trading Ex-Dividend Next Week
Investors should mark their calendars for the week starting Monday, January 19, 2026. A host of prominent Indian companies will trade ex-dividend during this period. This corporate action directly impacts stock prices and shareholder returns.
When a stock goes ex-dividend, its price adjusts to exclude the value of the upcoming dividend payout. From that date forward, new buyers of the stock will not receive the declared dividend. Only shareholders who hold the stock before the record date remain eligible for the payment.

Bonus Issue
Jonjua Overseas Ltd has declared a bonus issue of shares at a ratio of 5:40. Shares will trade ex-bonus on Friday, January 23, 2026. A bonus issue allows existing shareholders to receive additional shares, enhancing their holding without an immediate cash payout.
Stock Split
